Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training)
Learning outcomes
This course presents the law relating to transactions and lawsuits with elements in multiple states. Major topics include the choice of which state or nation's law to apply, the jurisdiction of courts, and the enforcement of foreign judgments. The course will discuss these issues in the context of torts, contracts, property, family law, and procedure. The process of sorting out what law applies rapidly raises fundamental questions about law, including where law comes from, how courts and parties know what "the right law" is, what it means for a court to have "jurisdiction" or enter a "judgment," whether law is a system of formal rules or a set of policy-driven standards, and who has the final word in a world of numerous and overlapping jurisdictions.
This course gives to the students a comprehensive overview of the rules and institutes in private international law. Students undergoing this course will gain knowledge of the issues of relations with the international element from the perspective of Czech law.
Prerequisites
Completion of this course is not conditional upon completion of some other courses.
